Every other hub stops at the thermostat.
Family OS runs the whole estate.
Aerial drone patrols. Thermal & buried perimeter sensors. A bunker's life-support. The helipad, the marina, the wine cellar — and the lights and laundry too. 75 modules across 9 systems, commanding things no off-the-shelf hub will ever touch. All on your own hardware. All private.
They automate a room.
Family OS commands a property.
Home Assistant, SmartThings, Hubitat — they're great at lights and a thermostat. Then they stop. Family OS keeps going, all the way out to the perimeter, the airfield, and the shelter.
The systems that set it apart.
These aren't roadmap promises or "works with" badges — they're shipping modules, each with its own dashboard, controls, and live history.
Command rooms, not feature lists.
A surveillance operations center for your land.
Most hubs give you a doorbell clip. Family OS gives you the whole perimeter — from the sky down to the soil — on one screen.
- Aerial drone patrols — launch and monitor automated perimeter sweeps.
- Thermal & buried sensors — heat-signature detection and underground ground-disturbance zones.
- Face & plate recognition — flag familiar people and vehicles vs. unknowns.
- Gates, cameras & live grids — full-screen walls and one-tap lockdown.
From the hangar to the boathouse.
The assets a normal hub doesn't even have a category for — managed like any other room.
- Private aviation — hangar, airfield, and helipad status at a glance.
- Waterfront — marina, yachts, and boathouse.
- Garage car turntable & home elevator — the moving parts of the estate.
- Research lab & cleanroom, vehicles, finance & the cellar — assets, tracked.
When the grid goes down, you stay up.
Defense, the bunker, escape routes, and on-site power — the systems you hope you never need, monitored continuously so they're ready when you do.
- Bunker life-support console — power reserve, water, and air, at a glance.
- Defense & escape tunnels — walls, bollards, beams, and the route network.
- Emergency — life-safety shutoffs, panic, and 911 escalation in one tap.
- On-site power — generator, hydro, and fuel, plus river level & flood watch.
Off the grid, on your terms.
Generate, store, and balance your own power — and watch every watt in real time. When the grid drops, Family OS islands the property and keeps the critical systems running.
- Live consumption — whole-property draw by circuit and zone, to the watt.
- On-site generation — solar, generator, and micro-hydro, blended automatically.
- Battery & islanding — seamless cutover when the grid fails; days of autonomy.
- Fuel, runtime & river-hydro — tracked alongside the weather and flood watch.
One tap moves the entire property.
House Modes fan a single intent across every system at once. Tap a mode and watch the whole estate respond — lights, gates, perimeter, and drones, live.
It still runs the normal household — beautifully.
All the estate firepower, and the day-to-day every family actually lives in: the calendar, the chores, the groceries, the meds. One hub for both.
All 75 modules. Explore every one.
Search, or filter by system. Each is a full feature with its own dashboard, controls, and history — shipping today.
Self-hosted by design.
A single application you run on a mini-PC, NAS, or home server. It owns its data and talks to your devices directly — no middleman, no vendor cloud.
Run it on your hardware
One install on a machine you own. The hub serves every screen on the property — phones, tablets, wall kiosks — over your own network.
Connect your devices
A clean adapter layer maps each system to your gear. Swap a backend in one place; the interface never changes.
Your data stays home
State lives in a local data folder — no external database, no SaaS. Per-person PINs gate access; export or back it up whenever you like.
Scales from a flat to a fortified estate.
Enable only what fits. Unused modules stay out of the way; new ones drop in without changing how the hub works.
Homes & condos
Lights, climate, cameras, and the whole family side — calendar, chores, shopping, routines — in one tidy hub.
Large properties
Grounds, irrigation, pool & spa, energy, vehicles, perimeter cameras — plus House Modes that run it all in one tap.
Estates & compounds
The full command center — aerial & thermal security, defense, a bunker, private aviation, the waterfront, and the lab.
The estate that doesn't phone home.
Your cameras, your perimeter, your family's routines — none of it should live on someone else's servers. Family OS is built the opposite way: yours, on your hardware, end to end.

Good to know.
Do I really need drones and a bunker to use it?+
Not at all — enable only what fits your property. The estate-grade systems are there when you need them; most homes run lights, climate, cameras, and the family side. Unused modules simply stay out of the way.
Does it really run without the cloud?+
Yes. Family OS runs entirely on hardware you own and serves over your local network. No vendor cloud, no account — it keeps working even when your internet is down.
What hardware do I need?+
A single mini-PC, NAS, or home server is plenty. Install once, and the hub is available on every screen — phones, tablets, and dedicated wall kiosks.
What devices and systems does it connect to?+
A device-adapter layer connects platforms like Home Assistant, Hue, Sonos, ecobee, and Ring. Built-in simulators let you set everything up and start using the hub before hardware is fully wired in.
Is my family's data actually private?+
It never leaves your machine. No telemetry, nothing uploaded. Access is gated per person with PINs, and every change is recorded in a local activity log you control.
Can you set it up for me?+
Yes — we offer a private walkthrough and white-glove setup tailored to your property and the devices you already own. Request a demo and we'll map it to your setup.

We'll walk you through Family OS live — every system, your way. Bring your setup and we'll show exactly how it maps in.
